The public maintains their suspenseful anticipation which surrounds Salman Khan and Chitrangda Singh's upcoming movie Maatrubhumi.

The film was announced as Battle Of Galwan and was rechristened to Maatrubhumi earlier this year. The film depicts the India China conflict that occurred in 2020 but the Ministry of Defence expressed concerns about the film's content after India and China improved their diplomatic relations.

A reliable source has informed us that the Ministry issued a directive which prohibits any mention of China in the film.

A source told, “Earlier, the film was inspired by a real event. But as per the request of the Ministry of Defence Salman and director Apoorva Lakhia reshot the film by adding a fictional spin to the story. Accordingly, he reshot nearly 40% of the film as he added some romantic scenes backstory, etc. The makers submitted the new cut hoping that they would get the NOC. But the Ministry still has apprehensions.”

The source added, “One of the requests to Salman Khan is that China shouldn’t be mentioned in the film. This was communicated to the makers in advance. The cut of Maatrubhumi    which was submitted earlier this month, has no mention of China.”

Only those in the core team of Maatrubhumi are aware as to how the neighboring country has been depicted or mentioned without naming it.

The resolution of the issue and the timing of the film's release in cinemas now need to be determined. Our source had earlier reported that Maatrubhumi might arrive on May 15. However, the current circumstances make that prediction highly doubtful.
